    hi, ive just powered up my new UL80VT, but on my computer there's 2 partitions :confused: one says OS which is the C drive (74.5gb which is half filled), the other says DATA which is the D drive (208g) which has nothing in it. When i install a program where should i install it cos all the program files are in the C drive but if i install it there, it will fill up and leave the D drive unused :S help please, much appreciated, thanks :)

    Assuming you are running win 7 & are logged in as admin, type disk 'partitioning disk' into the help box. As long as you have nothing AT ALL in D, you can do it with windows 7. in this case I chose opt. 3 'can I repartition my hard disk' and this will lead to a dialog through which this can be done. I heard about this B4 I ordered and my dealer did it for me.
    what you will end up with is one large partition c: and no D drive.
    Feel free to PM me if you need any help. Good luck, Josea
